SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[KembaStepback]

Any man who calls the doctor for being worried about excessive wood should be ashamed.

Just get to a nearby college and go nuts.

Literally and figureatively....amirite?!?

 

[mauconnfan]

I just keep reading this and thinking if Matrim were they'd ask him if he had a mic in his pants or is he just happy to be there.

From a Rivals article today:
Since Diallo is on pace to graduate next year he could be part of the Class of 2016 but has not made a decision on when he will leave.

"I'm going to see how the process plays out right now," he said. "Most of my offers are for 2016 and 2017, so it all depends how comfortable I feel coming out."

I'll translate "It depends if Rodney Purvis declares for the draft. If he does I'll reclassify to 2016"

 

[CallMeBruce]

I have to imagine that we're in on him for either season, right? If that's the case, and we're his first-choice school at least at the moment, why wouldn't he go in '16? He'd get minutes for us, too. If nothing changes in the next 8 months or so, I'd bet he reclassifies.

Fun fact: Diallo picked up 3 CB picks for us since yesterday.

 

[RipCity]

This could explain our apparent loss in serious commitment to Bruce Brown.

 

[James]

getting both him and diarra would be a monster start to the class. crossing my fingers reclassifying is in serious consideration.

If my current physical state lasts 3 and a half more hours I'm going to have to call a doctor.

Matt-

The condition is known as priapism; its also a hobby of mine.

Haven't seen you since that brawl in the hotel elevator after the Georgetown game at the MCI Center -- hope all is well. Should've kicked both yours and Ethan's asses that night tho. hah!

Just came in here to post this exact thought. I need more hobbies.

No new hobbies for you everything is working out just fine. If Larrier heads our way I may want to have you read the lines in my palms.

Diallo has been averaging about 12 ppg, with Diarra about 10 ppg, with 6+ rpg...
Don't watch tonight, NY Lightning is getting crushed. Not sure if Diarra is playing though.

They are on a very low scoring team, haven't watched them but it does make one wonder who else is on the team.

Both Diallo & Diarra played. Both had good games, the rest of the team didn't show up it seems. They lost by 21, only 45 pts for their team.

Diallo - 22 pts, 6-14 shooting, 3-9 from 3, 7-9 FT, 4 rebs, 2 assists, 3 steals, 5 TO's.
Diarra - 12 pts, 4-10 shooting, 4-7 FT, 9 rebs, 3 blocks.

That's what has happened most games for them it seems.

Hamidou Diallo is a very gifted 2017 guard. Has some combo to him. Has good form & range on his shot. Very good athlete. Lot of upside. #UAA

[Chief00]

I wish, quite frankly, that guys would put more work at a young age into shooting better. True in a game it's part sharing the ball and shot selection. But when guys do get open looks so many look really bad.

@EvanDaniels: Good weekend in New York at the @UAassociation. Kameron McGusty, Billy Preston, Hamidou Diallo & LaGerald Vick all made a major impression.

2017 Combo Guard Hamidou Diallo Likes UConn, But Remains Open

Hamidou Diallo admits he is considering playing for UConn when it comes time to go to college, especially after his teammate Mamadou Diarra committed to the Huskies last week.

“It’s something I’ve been thinking about but it’s not really a big impact,” the 6-foot-5 2017 shooting guard told SNY.tv this weekend at the Under Armour Association stop. “That’s like my brother.”

Asked if the 6-8 Diarra’s commitment to UConn would impact him, Diallo said, “Not necessarily, a little bit, but not necessarily.”

Camera zoomed in nice and close on him wearing some Under Armour shoes....lets hope he likes Nike as well

 

[mauconnfan]

Has a nice looking shot to add to some real athleticism. What's not to like? How big is he - 6'5" or close?

Need to see some more handle but the kid looks like the whole package.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Most sites have him at 6'4", though I've seen 6'5" a couple of times.
